Why so much hype about Sunroof which is not useful for a Country like India, because of hot weather & pollution.. Since most of the You tubers are making hype, manufacturers are making Sunroof kind of necessary elements. While hardly anyone uses it..& Sad part is a person like me not finding a good option without Sunroof..I believe many others also must be going through the same dilemma.. Stop advertising for Sunroof..
Sunroof is like addon which you get for every model you choose. there should be an option for non sun roofs also. every car i am seeing has a roof, be it small or big. Creta, Elevate, Virtus, Verna, Taigun. Saw everything below 20L, everything has sunroof. Rejecting Hyryder solely for that sunroof shade. BTW which car you chose?
I saw elevate first time on road in my home town. Its absolutely looks different than any other car. Its eye catching on the road for that massive front grill design.
@@Vikrum_ okay because otherwise there is no way Hyundai or Germans can do a better job in utilising the interior and boot space as much as the Japanese from the history as we have seen
In Creta 3 people can sit comfortablely in rear seat whereas Elevate 2 adults 1 kid can seat. That is the major issue with elevate. Honda missed the basic need.
Couple of suggestions: 1. Most of your points / comparison relates to top spec / variants of all the midsize SUV in question. Not all buyers go for top variants. Offerings available for buyer at base variants will add more value to us as consumer. Or may be a dedicated discussion / vlog just on base variant comparison will be insightful :) 2. Most of the base variant buyer of mid size SUV are the prospects of top spec / variants micro SUV like venue, brezza, sonet etc. That should also be brought into discussion for the mid size SUV comparison topic on benefits perceived by moving over from top spec compact SUV to base trim of mid size SUV
Yes, most of the discussions on all channels is about the top specced. Elevate offers more features on SV than the Creta E and if they price it near or slightly above it's petrol trim. Creta has advantage because it also offers a frugal and punchy diesel even in the base variants.
@@vijuvlogs Yeah. For petrol heads, an SV is a good Choice. They can add a descent infotainment system, speakers and alloy wheels to their liking if they can spend a lakh and a half extra. A diesel person can get the Creta EX with no mods for the same price.
@@SyedNizamudeen yes and with diesel having an uncertain future maybe ppl will prefer Elevate provide it has reached the entire nation as lot of them think it's safer to go with a car with more sales
Own a Honda City 2011 Passed down from my dad Almost clocked 100000 km But still no problem except what Tushar said. And I just changed the clutch pad at 70K
What mileage Honda City gives ? I want to buy new car for family purpose of budget 15 lakh. Which car should I prefer Nexon, Elevate, Honda City or creta ?
When you want to put 17+ Lakh, it’s wise to put that on a tried and tested car instead of a new car in the market. Reliability is super important for any Vehicle.
One thing channels need to talk about is the value for money and affordability. Since they brought automatic petrol in picture , VW and Skoda automatic base variants highline costs nearly 18.6L . Creta SX- which is starting automatic variant and Seltos HTX starting variant costs 19.8l . On the other hand elevate and GV base automatic variants like V and Delta costs only 16.2L on road with most of features . For 18.8L VW top line price we can Elevate VX with push button , sunroof and alloy wheels .
Despite having inherent strengths such as reliability, space and practicality, Honda tends to put itself at a disadvantage in terms of the (lack of) features. It’s beyond me why, when they’ve got the basics covered, they don’t add those extra features to make their proposition unbeatable.
What more do u want. Its a well balanced car with all necessary features. I dont think its missing any important features other than some useless things like panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats. U can get ventilated seat from the company for 6k ig
@@PureRythm cmon seriously?? i dont understand how people like these stupid features and judge whether a car is good or not based on that. all those fancy features are totally useless.
@@aknjr573 nope brother. Just the ventilated seats, and it would have been THE PERFECT CAR for me. And also, it's not gimmicky, I find it very useful for my daily usage...🤷✌️
7:23 I wouldn't put Honda on equal footing with Toyota and Maruti. Why? Simply because Honda doesn't sell spare parts outside of dealerships. You'll find Maruti and Toyota parts everywhere but not Honda. You'll be stuck with their ASS.
As far as safety goes, Isnt Seltos based on K2 platform which got 5 stars safety in Verna? we are assuming safety of Elevate based on city platform, how it is different for Seltos? Can anyone explain
It needs to take part in competition with GV sisters. Their low end models are becoming crowd favourites, making customers go above and beyond budgets to get them
5:40 ADAS in seltos is available in GTX+ variant and you clearly mentioned in the start of seltos part that do not compare elevate ZX with seltos GTX+ as it is unfair to elevate. So all in all, at that price range, only elevate offers you a premium level 2 ADAS
I chose the Skoda Kushaq over the Elevate and recently bought one. The driving experience in the Kushaq is far superior, it feels like a highend car. I can confidently say this because I also drive an Audi A4.
Liked how you kept the POV objective. I believe the one of the things Honda should have done better was to make the rear bench reasonably comfortable for three people along with a 3-point seatbelts for all.
I’ll say that this format is indeed the best one i have came across… more sounds like an interaction that I’ll prefer to have to get deep in knowing about the car
I have driven 1.5 tsi of skoda/ vw on a long trip. I would anyday take manual NA I- vtech of Honda. So much fun after 3000 rpm. Don't know why people don't talk about that when it comes to performance.
@@Azhar_Ahammad Most CSUVs are, aren't they. I'd rather check the car in person and see if it suits my personal needs for seating 3 at the back. I do believe Honda missed an opportunity to use the width to their advantage.
Yes, you are right. I have already checked the back seat, seat space is there, but only 2 adults can sit because of the seat design, we can say it is 5 seater - 4 adults and one kid
Even though elevate offer a good knee room the bump on the floor makes the thigh support very poor which take away all the comfort and practicality the elevate could offer
Elevate has faulted ADAS system. While ADAS is built for additional safety, Honda has totally missed the sensitivity of Indian traffic. The CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) actually ends up hurting people as much as saving. Traffic in India is so dense that the car keeps on auto braking abruptly at every detection, which ends up hurting people sitting inside the car. Due to sudden braking, I have personally seen people getting whiplash injuries from their seatbelt, senior citizens getting injured and kids could also get hurt. If you have hot food in your hand, even that can spill on you and you can get injured. Also, with continuous traffic and recurring sudden braking, the car is at a high risk of getting hit by the traffic behind; again; hurting the passengers. Even if they have given the option to turn off the CMBS, it turns itself on every time you restart the car. It is not reasonable to expect to remember to turn it off every time you start the car. It is not reasonable to also expect the hired drivers to turn the system off every time they start the car. Honda must give the option to keep the CMBS turned off at all times unless the driver wants to turn it on. The current design of auto turn-off has already put my family and other occupants of my car at high risk, and it will do so with others as well. This issue must be raised to the authorities as well. Commonsense and safety go hand in hand. Please consider carefully before buying this car with this feature. This is my personal opinion and it has very low range as it uses WRV's 40 ltr tank .
Which is the BEST SUV in terms of Safety, Mileage,Performance,Rear Cabin Space,Ventilated Seats,Best infotainment and last Panaromic Sun roof ..Budget On road 20 Lakhs ?
As per recent news, Honda going to offer ventilated seats as accessories which solves must have feature list!! panoramic Sunroof,360 camera are good to have and not must to have.. And if they price exactly with city ZX (15.5 ex showroom) then it will be bullseye!!
Good to know... As per my previous driving experience for long rides, ventilated seats were deal breaker for me. I hope if they could come up with a turbo engine too but seems for that have to wait for years.
If you're looking for a reliable and safe car, the Astor is the perfect choice for you. It's backed by a great warranty and it has all the features you need to stay safe on the road.
Between the top model of Elevate, Kushaq and Taigun..which is a better buy for me? My drive is 80:20 city: highway , family of 4...looking for a practical car which will give me peace of mind wrt service etc.
My friend is evaluating options for his new car. Today i got the chance to drive the top model of automatic elevate. I own a top model of kushaq 1 liter. I would say when it comes to the interior, elevate is definitely better, but only in the top model. All other models does not have leather finish and seats. Its fabric. Anyways, they dont have ventilated seats. If i talk about the driving experience and handling, honestly its nowhere close to kushaq. Even the front/back and boot door thrust was not satisfying. They dont provide TPMS(Imp). No automatic rear mirror dimmer(imp). No C charge ports. Back side no charging ports at all. The engine had quite a noticeable noise if you push a sudden accelerator, lets say try to overtake at low speed. The punch was also lacking. Cant say about high speed, how it feels to drive. While coming back in my car, i could feel and definitely say, my decision was 100% correct buying german. At the end, i would highly suggest to take a drive all the cars in this segment and take decision acc to that. 😊
I kept hearing in this video that elevate has more space inside but those who have seen it in showroom all agree that seltos or creta has more rear shoulder room. I think you need to be specific, bigger boot and more knee room perhaps
If all car companies gives a free hand in handing out lower variants timely and without any fuss. I guess 90% people will choose lower variants. For lower variants elevate is better in every way against all competition.
I really liked this car.. everything is perfect but I have just one question.. can you give little bit insight on car seats about its thigh support n length n width.. are seats comfortable for passanger n driver in longer journey. Thank you.
Both pros and cons of elevate.. 1. driving position and bonnet visibility makes it fun to drive car.. people underestimate this factor but this is a deal breaker for many people.. 2. CVT starts from second model itself 3. Honda reliability 4. The premium feel of cabin is only limited to top model.. be it the leather seats or the touchscreen.. atleast the VX model should have also given this cabin.. even the back seat armrest is also not present in VX model.. the features are not evenly distributed across variants So honda is telling people that either you buy the top model or don't buy it all..
safety in the form of build comes like (kushaq, taigun, elevate) greater than (vitara, hyryder) greater than the korean twins of the creta and the seltos
ELEVATE ADAS is not RADAR based, it based on CAMERA, which is less Reliable. 1) Very less Mileage 2) Rear seat space is not comfortable 3) Overpriced Suv I would still choose Creta , due to multiple engine options it provides, Only best thing here is Honda Engine, but as it is Suv, we are not getting any Hybrid, and thus it will give very very less mileage in single digit. Which is not worth.
Very Disappointed with Elevate.. Had a showroom visit today.. cannot believe the seats are so uncomfortable..Almost zero thigh support..for even a 5.7 .. co passenger seats were equally bad .strange angle for seats. One cannot drive for long.. The back seats were comfortable though.. Design looked ok too.. I am planning to cancel my booking just because of the overall seats discomfort.any advise on seat comfort..
Hahaha.... Most of those reviews are written by some 'Jatt' as one can read... Maybe all of those reviews are written by same person. Such a poor attempt !!!! 😁😁 Even those who are planning to buy Astor will look for another brand after reading this bullshit... 😊
Thank you for some well informed comments. I would appreciate that if you guys could also add some info and your views on the maintenance costs and mileage when comparing cars becsuse that is an important aspect of purchase decision.
It really hurts when you see your favourite brand is lacking in most of the aspects where Competition already gone on next level in terms of Engines,Features offering etc Elevate is just a survival for honda for next 3 yrs.. Don't know what is stopping them to offer turbo engines or localisation of hybrid engines and components just like toyota is doing.. People in india are mileage concious where Elevate is delivering only 15 kmpl Arai claimed mileage It misses out features like Ventilated Seats, panoramic sunroof,headsup display, Electric seats adjust etc many features which are already there from competition and Features are the deciding factor for Indians Their flagship cars doesn't get Ventilated Seats doesn't mean they won't offer in Elevate..Such a Arrogance Only ZX variant is featured loaded..2nd top VX lacks Cruise control,rear Armrest..If they aren't offering features then price should be very very aggressive or else they have to face consequences.. If not Features then they should sponsored test in GNCAP and get a test done and if it scored 5 star then it will be plus for them to increase the sales numbers because only German twins are 5 star rated where Korean lacks
Surprisingly the Honda city has better features distribution as compared to elevate. If you want feature you have to go for top end unlike city we’re v or vex is enough.
@@chinmaysawant9275 Not Surprisingly,May be this has been done intentionally because City has already established the legacy of Honda brand in India and has survived 25 yrs They won't offer features list of City(sv to vx) in Elevate because if they do then majority of customers will shift to Elevate when they go to buy City and Honda doesn't want it..They want customer to buy Top variant of Elevate so as to gain maximum profits..and The customer who will go to buy Lower variant of Elevate will definitely get attracted by features list of City from base variant so that Elevate won't eat the sales of City.. Honda has never been late in terms of City launch and Facelift timeline..
I think you need to take cognisance of the bots commenting about Astor, they are easily recognisable once you see their IDs. They are spamming your comment space. Please take action
Seems to be paid video by honda, as you guys appreciating honda way more above other brands ✌🏼 And this video is coming out just before 4days of the price reveal. 🙏🏼
I think its us who need to promote Honda more than they themselves do😂😂sad truth but hopefully this product can break some barriers for Honda and they rethink getting a hybrid instead of electric in the future
As a owner of elevate since 6 months there are few things which makes daily driving not easy - 1. Lack of under tigh support in the front seats and lack of foot area this cause pain in the tight and ankle after long drive 2. please dont take the dual tone as during hot summer - the area around the sun roof area gets super hot in summer even with the sun roof cover you will feel the heat on top of your head while driving and after few hrs both the front passengers will feel the heat and you will be exhuasted after driving. I am not able to find the solution to this and i am disappointed with the lack of engineering skills being executed in this car
1. Use silicon gel under tigh it will solve the problem and increase the comfort also 2. heat block silver cover , stitch and paste it at the glass of sunroof, or above that plastic cover 3. Tell me after you apply any of these
@RSB143 i was able to improve the under tigh support and lower back support. I took the car to a seat fabricator, and he added extra firm foam in the under tigh area and lumbar support area now the seat feels like a recliner. I am very happy with this solution.
I used the touchscreen on Elevate . Its quite responsive and of very good quality. How is the infotainment system of hyryder(which was worst in the segment) at par with honda elevate’s ? And if that is true then what does the Honda elevate over any of its competitors ?
In 1.5 NA,there's no match for the ivtec. If sensible features, practicality, reliability along with peppy and smooth 1.5 NA petrol with comfy ride and well sorted dynamics makes Elevate a better car if it's offered in the correct pricing. I strongly feel Honda is going to price it aggressively. Let's wait.
If you have 16 lakhs to spend, and want to show up in a big car, Elevate is the way to go, but Creta is Creta, most popular for a reason because it is subconsciously premium in our Indian minds
100% i don't understand our Indians mentality lots of features means they are just attracting you with these nonsense features are useless... Ex -Creta
Elevate's door closing thud was much better than Seltos. Apple car play/Android Auto wireless for Elevate while wired for Seltos GTX plus or X line even. It is so outdated.
Had they been intelligent, they must had applied their mind after seeing what their competitors are giving features from base model as standard. This elevate is missing tons of good features and moreover only single engine option is available. So, there is very much doubt about intelligent pricing. Only media and youtubers are promoting only due to paid promotion otherwise there's nothing charm and appealing in this
Honda just needs to price the Elevate competitively. Rightly said in the video that many people, if not the majority, don’t want these technological infusions in a car’s features. Just give the basic ones and they’re good to go.
Thanks. It was nice and it helped me to further strengthen my decision on elevate. I just wanted inbuilt ventilated seat but then i think i will continue with the aftermarket ventilated seat cover which i am using for last 3-4 years in my current car.

1) Very less Mileage
2) Rear seat space is not comfortable
3) Overpriced Suv
I would still choose Creta , due to multiple engine options it provides, Only best thing here is Honda Engine, but as it is Suv, we are not getting any Hybrid, and thus it will give very very less mileage in single digit. Which is not worth.
One of the best comparison videos I have come across! 😄
Elevate or seltos or creta...which one to choose as my 1st car..budget upto 20L
Wait for the Elevate’s prices. Will be out on September 4
This format is great, keep continuing it
That interior quality is only in the top model for elevate. German twins offer you better value for money and man is it fun to drive
Very informative, thanks for your time to make this video.
Very Disappointed with Elevate.. Had a showroom visit today.. cannot believe the seats are so uncomfortable..Almost zero thigh support..for even a 5.7 .. co passenger seats were equally bad .strange angle for seats. One cannot drive for long..
The back seats were comfortable though.. Design looked ok too.. I am planning to cancel my booking just because of the overall seats discomfort.any advise on seat comfort..
Very good point, I was thinking that I am the only one who noticed seat discomfort, every other TH-cam auto channel saying seats are very comfortable.
Seems MG has hired lots of paid social media worker who keeps on posting the same kind of thing 😅
Hahaha.... Most of those reviews are written by some 'Jatt' as one can read... Maybe all of those reviews are written by same person.
Such a poor attempt !!!! 😁😁
Even those who are planning to buy Astor will look for another brand after reading this bullshit... 😊
City is way more fun to drive compared to a NA verna... So in that perspective i think elevate will eat up the NA sales of creta and even vitaras...
No car can beat creta in its segment .. creta is fun to drive but in city Honda will be good choice
Nice but would like it even more if they could let us know which model in each brand would be most economical in terms of cost and features. 🙏
Thank you for some well informed comments. I would appreciate that if you guys could also add some info and your views on the maintenance costs and mileage when comparing cars becsuse that is an important aspect of purchase decision.
It really hurts when you see your favourite brand is lacking in most of the aspects where Competition already gone on next level in terms of Engines,Features offering etc
Elevate is just a survival for honda for next 3 yrs..
Don't know what is stopping them to offer turbo engines or localisation of hybrid engines and components just like toyota is doing.. People in india are mileage concious where Elevate is delivering only 15 kmpl Arai claimed mileage
It misses out features like Ventilated Seats, panoramic sunroof,headsup display, Electric seats adjust etc many features which are already there from competition and Features are the deciding factor for Indians
Their flagship cars doesn't get Ventilated Seats doesn't mean they won't offer in Elevate..Such a Arrogance
Only ZX variant is featured loaded..2nd top VX lacks Cruise control,rear Armrest..If they aren't offering features then price should be very very aggressive or else they have to face consequences..
If not Features then they should sponsored test in GNCAP and get a test done and if it scored 5 star then it will be plus for them to increase the sales numbers because only German twins are 5 star rated where Korean lacks
Surprisingly the Honda city has better features distribution as compared to elevate. If you want feature you have to go for top end unlike city we’re v or vex is enough.
@@chinmaysawant9275 Not Surprisingly,May be this has been done intentionally because City has already established the legacy of Honda brand in India and has survived 25 yrs
They won't offer features list of City(sv to vx) in Elevate because if they do then majority of customers will shift to Elevate when they go to buy City and Honda doesn't want it..They want customer to buy Top variant of Elevate so as to gain maximum profits..and The customer who will go to buy Lower variant of Elevate will definitely get attracted by features list of City from base variant so that Elevate won't eat the sales of City..
Honda has never been late in terms of City launch and Facelift timeline..
GNCAP has declared that they will not test any made in India cars from now on
@@rock0285 They have last 10 made in india cars for testing..after that they will stop testing indian cars
@Saahilll oh that is sad. So what's the reason behind that?
I think Astor miserably fails on Fuel Economy.
I think you need to take cognisance of the bots commenting about Astor, they are easily recognisable once you see their IDs. They are spamming your comment space. Please take action
under thigh support is not adqueate no 2 step reclining 2nd time they are talking about honda elevate ..Even top zx leather seat is hard...
Excellent !!! for me, elevate is practically clear winner!!!
Pl talk about durability, aster 5 years or 1 lakh kms
The anchor in glasses uses more voice modulation in his lingo & thinks he is adding to the zen factor... Too overwhelming!!!
More more more such comparisons but just audio is useful. Video can be utilised as well😅😅
The insights were really honest and helpful... thank you
excellent information shared thank you!
Seems to be paid video by honda, as you guys appreciating honda way more above other brands ✌🏼
And this video is coming out just before 4days of the price reveal. 🙏🏼
I think the would come with turbo engine as well
I think its us who need to promote Honda more than they themselves do😂😂sad truth but hopefully this product can break some barriers for Honda and they rethink getting a hybrid instead of electric in the future
As a owner of elevate since 6 months there are few things which makes daily driving not easy - 1. Lack of under tigh support in the front seats and lack of foot area this cause pain in the tight and ankle after long drive 2. please dont take the dual tone as during hot summer - the area around the sun roof area gets super hot in summer even with the sun roof cover you will feel the heat on top of your head while driving and after few hrs both the front passengers will feel the heat and you will be exhuasted after driving. I am not able to find the solution to this and i am disappointed with the lack of engineering skills being executed in this car
1. Use silicon gel under tigh it will solve the problem and increase the comfort also
2. heat block silver cover , stitch and paste it at the glass of sunroof, or above that plastic cover
3. Tell me after you apply any of these
@@RSB143 thanks for the response , I have no source to the solution. I will be selling the car very soon
@@drivingh which model and how many km. Are done
@RSB143 i was able to improve the under tigh support and lower back support. I took the car to a seat fabricator, and he added extra firm foam in the under tigh area and lumbar support area now the seat feels like a recliner. I am very happy with this solution.
Under thigh support looks less which makes uncomfortable in a long ride.
I used the touchscreen on Elevate . Its quite responsive and of very good quality. How is the infotainment system of hyryder(which was worst in the segment) at par with honda elevate’s ? And if that is true then what does the Honda elevate over any of its competitors ?
The Astor's safety ratings are impressive, with high scores in crash tests.
china 😉😉😉
why is the laptop doing there?
In 1.5 NA,there's no match for the ivtec.
If sensible features, practicality, reliability along with peppy and smooth 1.5 NA petrol with comfy ride and well sorted dynamics makes Elevate a better car if it's offered in the correct pricing.
I strongly feel Honda is going to price it aggressively. Let's wait.
Elevate is just little bit underpowered.. Other than that it is the best car and priced beautifully.. The car itself gives grand feel.
Nice explanation! However, Maruti not reliable comment caught you off guard 😅
If you have 16 lakhs to spend, and want to show up in a big car, Elevate is the way to go, but Creta is Creta, most popular for a reason because it is subconsciously premium in our Indian minds
100% i don't understand our Indians mentality lots of features means they are just attracting you with these nonsense features are useless... Ex -Creta
Elevate's door closing thud was much better than Seltos.
Apple car play/Android Auto wireless for Elevate while wired for Seltos GTX plus or X line even. It is so outdated.
You missed to compare all the 1.5 NA engines properly.. you went in as a whole package .. can you please rate the NA engines in a comment
It's going to flop after few months as only top zx cvt model is having max features
Let’s hope for intelligent pricing
Had they been intelligent, they must had applied their mind after seeing what their competitors are giving features from base model as standard. This elevate is missing tons of good features and moreover only single engine option is available. So, there is very much doubt about intelligent pricing. Only media and youtubers are promoting only due to paid promotion otherwise there's nothing charm and appealing in this
@@pankaj8709bang on target 😊
Jeb me hai nhi pai
Kon si leni h kar rhe lrai
Honda just needs to price the Elevate competitively.
Rightly said in the video that many people, if not the majority, don’t want these technological infusions in a car’s features. Just give the basic ones and they’re good to go.
Why is there random accounts just praising the MG Astor. Feels like mg spending huge money now on social media campaigns
True sales ki jagah Astor k number's badh gaye
Thanks. It was nice and it helped me to further strengthen my decision on elevate. I just wanted inbuilt ventilated seat but then i think i will continue with the aftermarket ventilated seat cover which i am using for last 3-4 years in my current car.
Hi , Can you please share link for the aftermarket ventilated seats cover which you are using from past some years , i am checking for options
Will it affect the insurance warranty?
@@weirdstories3004it uses 12volt socket so it does not effect warrany..
@@sandeepuniyal3309 check my reply above
@@ssb935 thanks
Astor ka cabin bahut soft touch material se bana hai. Bahut premium feel karta hai.
Lovely yaar! MG ke cars vakaye me unbeatable hai. Ye Astor ka concept sounds super fun.
Astor me jo safety features hai, wo doosri cars me nahi hai. Like ADAS, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist etc.
Honda Elevate : " Haa bhai hum to yaha Jakh maar rahe hai features compartment me"
No comparison with harrier?
😂😂
Pl do the review of Kia seltos diesel variants
SoBo friendly 😂🙌
Insightful details guys!
🙏🙏
Please continue these discussions for other segments too.
Great analysis!
Maruti need to upgrade the Grand Vitara .. the Grand Vitara Alpha model with its 16+ lakh price tag lacks features that other 10 lakhs car gets.. it even has less features than brezza and fronx
It's about what you prefer
